$219,000 to $60,000: Investor's MSTR Bet for Kids Takes a Big Hit, but Bitcoin Bull Michael Saylor Isn't

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) executives moved to reassure an investor whose stake lost significant value during the current bear market.

Investor Accuses Strategy of Ignoring MSTR holders

During Monday’s Q&A with Strategy shareholders, a person named Rob said he invested $73,000 in MSTR for each of his three children, believing in the stock’s long-term potential.

That $73,000 figure he quoted is now only $20,000, bringing the total amount he set aside for his kids from $219,000 down to $60,000.

“The term potential is now a function of getting back to breakeven,” Rob said. “MSTR common shareholders seem to be your lowest priority.”

Strategy CEO Says Common Stockholders Are Top Priority

Strategy CEO Phong Le said that Strategy’s common shareholders remain the company’s top priority but stressed that MSTR is deliberately designed to provide amplified Bitcoin exposure.

That means it can outperform Bitcoin during bull markets while experiencing steeper losses during downturns.

Bitcoin is down 40% from its all-time highs set in October 2025, while MSTR has plunged 79% from its record high in November 2024.

Le told the investor to stay confident in the underlying asset; when Bitcoin bounces back, MSTR will follow and rise over time.
